We guarantee immediate and positive relief to all sufferers from constipation. In every case where our remedy fails to do this we will return the money paid us for it. That's a frank statement of facts, and we want you to sub stantiate them at our risk. lyexall Orderlies are eaten just like candy, are particularly prompt and agreeable in action. i may be taken at any time, day, or night; do not cause diarrhoea, nausea, griping, excessive loose ness, or other undesirable effects. They have a very mild but posi tive.action upon the organs with which they come in contact; appa rently acting as a regulative tonic upon the relaxed musclar coat of the bowel, thus overcoming weak ness, and aiding to restore the bowels to more vigorous and healthy activity. Rexall Orderlies are unsurpass able and ideal for the use of chil dren, old folks and deiicat e per sons. We cannot too highly re commend them to all sufferers from any form of constipation and its attendant evils. That's wny we back our. faith in them with our promise of money back if they do not give entire satisfac tion. Three sixes: 12 tablets lo cents and 86 tablets 25 conts and 80 tablets 50 cents. Remember, you can obtain Rexall Remedies in McConnellsburg only at our store, The Rexall store. Leslie W. Seylar. Memorial to Women. A retired army office whose name is as yet withheld, has made a gift of $5o,ooo to be used for the erection at Washington of a fitting memorial to the "women of the civil war." The New York Commandery of the Loyal Legion undertakes the work of raising the balance. Here is both beautiful senti ment and the formal expression of a nation's gratitude. Nothing can ever adequately set forth the heroism, the devotion, the pa tience, the inspiring enthusiasm of the r.urses, the singers, the workers both high and humble, who lightened tne burden of the boys in blue and not seldom of the boys in gray. But the partial recompense can be made. And those at home, "waiting for the war to cease," praying and toiling and suffering let them also be deemed the honored in the great memorial. Boston Post A GENTLE HINT. In looking over our subscrip tion list we find a few subscri bers who are more than a year in arrears, and as this is tho season of the year for sending out state ments of amount due, it will save us a lot of work and postage, if you will look at your label, and if a year in arrears, just fare the money in, and have a "12" put on your label. With the closing days of the year, many people like to go over their accounts and square up, so as to start the new year in with a clean sheet. This is, of course, not a dun just a gentle hint that we need a little Christ mas money. F A KM E US' INSTITUTE.

Broad Top township, Bedford county, is one of the foremost districts in this section of the stato. The district has about eighteen or twenty schools. It has a supervising principal, who looks after and supervises the school work. The teachers are organized into an educational as sociation, which meets each month of the term and discusses plans and methods of improving the efficiency of the schools. The association, once a year, selects one of its members to visit schools in other districts or towns, and pays for the time and expenses of such visiting teacher This term Miss Esther Fletch er, a former teacher of that dis trict, but who bad for a couple of years taught in the schools of Pitcairn and who Is now back in the Broad Top schools,' was chos en as the visitor. The board of directors of which Mr. William Lauder a member of the commis sion which drafted the new school code, was a member for perhaps thirty years, suggested to Miss Fletcher that she visit schools of Altoona offering to pay tho addi tional expenses necssary to make such a visit. Miss Fletcher in company with a lady friend, went lastThuisday morning. Election of Directors. The regular annual meeting of the shareholders of The First National Bank of McConnellsburg Pa, for the election of directors, for tho ensuing year, will be held in its banking room on Tuesday January 9th, 1912 between the hours of 12 o'clock M. and 2 o clock P. M. Meruil W. Nace, Cashier. Mrs. Jacob Zeger, of near Dickey's Station, Franklin Coun ty, sold a flock of forty-eight fine turkeys to Dr. Irvine; of Mer cersburg Academy, for use for Thanksgiving and holiday season. This ounch of turkeys is said to have been a fine one. The forty eight turkeys weighed G22 pounds. Mrs Zeger received the fancy price of 17 cents per pound, thus netting her $105.77. Leonard Ray a 12-year old boy, resident up in Mercer county, will lose sight of one of his eyes as the result of attempting to lift a turkey from its perch late Thanksgiving night. When the boy caught hold of the turkey by one of its legs it struck him in the eye with its beak. A physi ciao declared the lad will never have use of the eye. CHARTER NOTICE.

In a dlury kept In 1040 It Is asserted thut "Alien Brydcus bus been chose to wake the sleepers lu meeting and. be ing much proud of his place, must needs have a fox to lie fixed to the eud of a long staffo, wherewith lie may brush tho faces tf them that will have naps in time of discourse." This en ergetic Individual wus' likewise armed with "a Nhnrpe tiiorno" for tho benefit of tlioso who "be most souiulo." There is a record of tho use of this Imple ment upon Mr. ToniUlns. who wns sleeping comfortably In tho corner of his pew when Alien "thrust his staff behind Danio Ballard to giro niin a grievous prick upon tho hand, where upon Mr. Tomklns did spring much above the floor and with terrible force did strike bis head against the wall and also to tho greut wonder of all 'prophnnellc' exclaim In n loud voice, 'Buss tho woodchuck!' ho dreaming, as It, seemed, thut a woodchuck bud seized hlui and bit bis bund."

It Is dilHeult to combine tho attri butes of the benn and tho business man. nnd the famous Lord Alvnnley did not attempt the task. Largely as the result of that philosophy which led hlui to cavil nt a friend's weakness In "muddling away his fortune In pay ing tradesmen's bills." he one day found himself In financial difficulties and asked Charles Crevllle. the author of tho "Journals." to put his nfTiiirs In order. Tho two men-Mr. Lewis Melville describes the Incident In "Some Eccentrics nnd a Woman" spent a day over accounts, and Grevllle found that tho task ho had undertaken would not he so difficult ns ho had been given to understand. Ills relief wns not long lived, however, for on tho fol lowing morning ho received a note from Alva nicy saying he had quite for gotten a debt of 50.000. Her Early Resolutions. This story was told by an English man who lived n century ago. He wns dining out In London nnd sat by a lady whom ho did not know. Their conver sation turned upon early resolutions and how very seldom they were kept, and tho lady sold: "Well, when 1 was a girl I made three resolutions first, I determined thnt I would never marry a soldier; second, that I would never marry an Irishman, and, third, thnt I would not be long engaged. And nil those three resolutions I broke. Whom do you think I did marry? The Duke of Wellington! lie was n soldier nnd nn Irishman, nnd I wns engaged to him for twelve years." This was Lndy Knthcrino Pakenham. It was nil un happy marriage, and the couple mostly lived apart Between Them. "Yes." said Mrs. Catchera, "those are my daughters over there on the sofa They have 'half a million between them." It wns not until they were married to those daughters that tho young men who overheard the remark found out that Mrs. Catchem referred to the rich old gentleman who sat on the sofa between the girls. Mrs. Cntchem could not tell n He, but sho knew bow to speak the truth to the best advan tage. Suited to the Occasion. Nurse Girl Oh. ma'am, what shall I do? The twins have fallen down tho well.
